<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Generally speaking, we change the Party in Control every four to six years. That obvious point aside, do you really believe that the "fence," or "wall," as you understand (or, obviously don't) is meant to be some kind of weird trap to keep . . . I'm just out of taffy to stretch around your premise.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Well, that's too bad - both the taffy and your reaction. You want to think I'm being far-fetched; I certainly understand that impulse. I was speaking of the wall's potential for abuse, for becoming something else than its stated purpose. I gather you apparently want me to be some conspiracy theorist. Whatever.<br><br>It used to be proud Lady Liberty in the harbour, greeting the boats coming in from foreign shores. Now it's a grey wall to keep out the thronging masses. How times change. But such barriers usually claim victims on both sides... at the very least they emanate an energy that is far from benevolent. That's all I was saying.<br><br>In any case, Eck might be right: In fifty years' time the people can throw massive street parties when everyone triumphantly pulls the ugly slabs down. I bet that'll be a real party... for some people, anyway.<br><br>[color:red]_________________________</font color=red><br>[color:white]Max </font color=white><br>

[censored][censored],<br>but to those of us with a MEMORY... that perhaps grew up (like me) wondering just<br>"HOW THE BLOODY HELL THE PEOPLE OF THE (former) SOVIET UNION EVER STOOD<br>BY AND ALLOWED THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT TO WALL THEM IN AND NEVER PROTEST<br>UNTIL IT WAS FAR FAR TOO LATE TO STOP "THEM"!?!?!?"---or DIED TRYING---<br><br><br>So... Back to The Frog in the Kettle...<br><br>I'm still struggling to figure out <br>exactly WHAT POINT should he jump out and Run For His Life....<br><br>LOL ...or if there's some Slimy B___ch telling him that he's "Just Paranod" too? <br><br><br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green> [color:green]. . . _ _ _ . . .</font color=green><br>

Thank god that pass is set to expire. We've got our fingers crossed, because come November, there sure as hell better be a new sheriff in town. We're hoping that will put a stop to the lunacy down here.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>
